Portret van twee onbekende kinderen 1854 - 1889

This carte de visite, taken by Disdéri & Co. between 1854 and 1889, captures the portrait of two unidentified children. The older child, wearing a cap, sits with a younger sibling in their lap. This type of photograph was popular in the 19th century, documenting individuals and families for posterity. The small size and simple composition, characteristic of carte de visite format, allows for an intimate view into the lives of these unnamed children. The photograph is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned art museum in Amsterdam, offering a glimpse into the past through the eyes of early photography.
